Crazy Combos that WORK!

Lets start a thread of crazy off the wall combos that really catch fish! Ones you've had first hand experience catching fish with. Type of jig doesn't matter.

I had a friend that asked for a combo I had never really made before. So I made him a few. Wasn't long and I was making more. He only used them in the summer and never would get any other color from me. I knew he fished the same places I do so FINALLY I made some for me. I was blown away when I tried them. Temp was well over 100 and I while I only caught 10 crappie. NINE were on this combo... Milk chocolate body with a flo blue tail!

Mine are all common, besides what I might or might not tip em with......

Must say that blue is wowsers.

That one's not so strange out here Ronnie...

I fish a little more tan version of that now,but a brown/blue has been in my box for years..Had to search way back for this pic.


This one works a little better for me,Even my PB came on it in "07"


Let me look around a little Ill show ya crazy

awesome work guys!

Cant say that much is real crazy when it comes to jigs,,,but since you asked a few non traditional that have caught for me..

I've caught a lot of fish on pink head, black body, blue tail. Another "strange" one is a black/chartreuse/ orange head, dark duck flank body, with a bright pink hackle throat.

Our best crappie & panfish combo this year with Red's woolies was an orange wool collar with blue satin winging over top. But this was more standard than crazy. What was CRAZY tho was our use of the same style jig in saltwater recently, but with a very unusual,nicely colored, red TIPPING, called "Fishbites"(check them on their webpage or Facebook). This stuff looked like strips of bubble gum, and cut in 1/4" squares drove the salty panfish nuts! Brought some home and tried it on rainbow trout this weekend and they, too, LOVED the stuff!

Came up with this jigs a few years ago and they have worked very well.
Orange/black gold/yellow

Great work by each of the craftsmen who've posted.
